When you first reported this, it reminded me of a known problem with
toolbars on wxGTK. I deserve the stress I caused myself for not reading 
your description thoroughly :)

Your problem (and I know many people run into this once) is that
the ToolBar is not connected to the Frame. There is a property called
ToolBar on a wxFrame that you must link to the toolbar before the
splitter will know which client area to fill.

I cannot reproduce this crash with a 
frame/toolbar/splitter/textctrl/listctrl

I've attached the sample that works for me, please test if this
crashes for you or not.

Please send me the source file that crashes (private mail if you
prefer), 
this should actually be easy to fix once I pinpoint the culprit, but 
until I can reproduce it I'm helpless.
